Senator Questions System Allowing 'Triple Dipping' Veterans

These are the people we need to keep an eye on, we serve our country and a lot of us find ourselves with a disability, we served and should be eligible for anything that is out there. I am not sure why this senator has decided to try to limit compensation for veterans but maybe he needs to try to limit his own compensation.

so this senator who will retire after what 4, 8, 12 years and will be set for life because he sat in a chair in an air conditioned room, our so called leaders get way more than we do, i worked my ass off since 14, paid taxes, still doing the same, spent 31 yrs millitary, went to combat 50% for that , and this SOB has the balls to stand up, how about we take his retirement away and see were he sits

This from a senator who gets a significantly higher pension for life...after one term....

A study brought to you by the same Senator that blocked the Clay Hunt SAV Act. This guy along with his sidekick Senator Tom Cotton need to go. But they are Tea Party favorites so we need to continue to deal with them.

I would love to go work a regular job and be fully retired. However, that is not the case and I am a double dipper. I would gladly trade paychecks with this joker along with any gratuities, kickbacks, medical care, retirement package and or bribes he gets for my awesome pay each year. I bet he would shut his fricken mouth if we traded paychecks for two years and he can have the aches and pains that come with 100% service connected combat disabilities.

This is BS. A congressman or senator gets a pension of around $250K per year for life; even more if they are in a leadership position. If they serve in both the house of representatives and the senate, they get to double dip. I think it might be time for all service members and veterans to send a message to Congress that until they correct their corrupt pension plan; they better not lay a stinkin' finger on veterans' pay if they want any of our votes.

Just another way that congress is trying to use the military... first we defend the nation, then they decide that we are a drain on the system, and start looking to cut our benefits. If someone has earned something (i.e. a military retirement), payed into something (i.e. Social Security), or had the misfortune to be disabled (i.e. VA payments) then let them be, if they have done 20 years they have done a hell of a lot more for their country than any 2/4 year congressman ever could hope to do.

Please remember that a majority (95-98%) of our federal officials suffer from a disabilitating disorder known as cranial-rectal syndrome. So please give generously to the cranial-rectal syndrome research foundation, every dollar you give can save a congressman, president, etc. from fecal aspiration and intestinal asphyxiation.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this one of those people that flies 1st free, works 90 (?) days of the year, gets better health care than most normal legal U.S. citizens, gets partial retirement benefits if they only serve 4 years, etc.,etc.,etc.
Now who's the problem really?

Tell you what Senator, offer to exchange benefits with any retired veteran out there and see what happens. Not just the money mind you, I'm talking about the medical insurance and the whole bundle. If you wish to discuss unfair, how about you relinquish your eligibility for a pension after a single term in office? I served one term in the Navy and I risked a hell of a lot worse than a paper cut, but I received no benefits at all.......not even the ones I was entitled to thanks to your paper pushing buddies at the VA! You have a lot of huevos to stand there in a suit that costs more than most of us make in a month and complain about how much we cost........
